What is 24.89 percent of 1974 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 1974 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 1974 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1974=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.89% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.89%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1974=100%
2) x=24.89%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
1974/x=100%/24.89%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 24.89% of 1974

1974/x=100/24.89
(1974/x)*x=(100/24.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1974=4.0176777822419*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0176777822419) to get x
1974/4.0176777822419=x
491.3286=x
x=491.3286

now we have:
24.89% of 1974=491.3286
